Dr Nelson was absolutely exceptional! She made me not only feel like I was her most important patient, and my concerns genuinely hers as well, but in the amount of time she spent with me, the depths to which she explained things, and her authenticity in her concern about what I was going through, made me feel as though I was her only patient with nothing short of 100% of her focus. Medicine has made it near impossible for physicians to practice in this manner, and Dr Nelson still somehow managed to provide this exceptional level of care for which I will always be grateful! God bless her!

I LOVE Dr. Nelson!! I cannot recommend her enough. She is super bubbly and made me feel at home during my appointment. I was emotional with worry and she cleared my mind. She made me feel much better.
